It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. ~Frederick Douglass

My dearest I was going to share this video on my blog “Black Women Have It Going On” but the message was too powerful not to share with each of you. This is a young man that is indeed well spoken and well read. My hat is off to him! His enthusiasm about life is truly contagious! And I am delighted for his parents because of their son’s academic achievements. But this is not to say I am not proud of each of you.

I just wanted to send you a note of inspiration and to remind you that I love you.

Enjoy! And I pray you learn something from this outstanding graduation speech.

It’s hard to beat a person that never gives up. ~Babe Ruth

Perhaps your nose is bloody. Then again it could be your chin was peeled. And maybe you could have scuffed your elbow(s). Or you possibly removed some skin from your knee(s). But, now, you must find the strength to pick yourself up, dust yourself off in the midst of pain and the feeling of defeat!

Never stay down! Because, if you stay down, people will come along and walk on you and or over you. Remember that!

So get up! Stop your nose from metaphorically bleeding, put a bandage on your metaphorically wounded chin, elbow(s) and knee(s) and keep striving for your dreams.
